Dr. Tim White (Senior Manager of Global Analysis, Global Fishing Watch (GFW), USA) In speaking to the need to support sustainable fisheries with satellite technology and open data, Dr. Tim White (Senior 0Manager of Global Analysis, Global Fishing Watch (GFW), USA), describes how recent advances in satellite technology, machine learning and data availability have expanded the publics ability to monitor global fisheries. Also satellite datasets and data transparency can help support strong fisheries management and monitoring programs. Dr. Tim White will also highlight how industry organisations and government agencies, including the NFA and PNG FIA, are leading efforts to highlight and increase the transparency of tuna fisheries and supply chains.

Check out this fascinating article by EM4Fish that delves into the evolution of electronic monitoring programs in the New England and Pacific groundfish fisheries. This conversation compares the implementation and effectiveness of electronic monitoring in these two regions, highlighting the unique challenges and successes of each program. It also discusses the role of technology in improving data collection and compliance monitoring in fisheries management. By exploring the advancements in electronic monitoring, we can gain a better understanding of how technology is shaping sustainable fishing practices in the US, as well as the potential benefits it can bring to both fish stocks and fishing communities. Dive into the world of electronic monitoring and discover the innovative approaches being taken to ensure the long-term health of these important fisheries.

Climate change poses a serious threat to the #sustainability of fisheries, but the industry has a plan to fight back. How? Through making investments in new technology and utilising collaborations to improve science and management techniques.

As the aquaculture industry further develops in marine environments, simultaneously maintaining the health and sustainability of wild populations and fisheries is critical. Such an approach is essential both as a backstop for biodiversity and for food security and a livelihood source for millions of people worldwide. A new study provides recommendations on designing and co-managing aquaculture and ecosystem management to benefit fisheries and conservation objectives. https://bit.ly/4a7jt8S

#PacificFisheries | While Day 3 of the 16th SPC Heads of Fisheries Meeting delved into the impact of climate change on our Pacific fisheries, aquaculture, and marine ecosystems. Today, we shift our focus to the crucial role of data integration in shaping the future of fisheries and aquaculture. 📈 Day 4 brings an opportunity to discuss regional data updates, contemporary data challenges, lessons learned and data governance, and the access to and utilisation of fisheries and aquaculture data through various tools.🦐🐟 🗣️ "Our concerted efforts in capacity building, data collection, and management have seen remarkable progress. The increase in support to members has been instrumental in enhancing national capabilities, ensuring that our data-driven approaches to fisheries management are both robust and sustainable," said SPC Director-General Dr Stuart Minchin. 👉Join us in advancing sustainable fisheries through data-driven strategies. #HOF16 #FisheriesData #SustainableFisheries
